10 SURPRISING THINGS YOU CAN COOK SOUS VIDE (SOME WHILE YOU SLEEP)

Anyone who has heard of the sous vide cooking technique will likely first think of it as a method for perfectly cooking proteins: tender steaks, moist chicken, delicate fish and seafood, or 48-hour short ribs. Yum. While these are all very good things to cook sous vide, there is a wealth of other things you can prepare using the technique, that will make your SousVide Supreme® cooker one of the most versatile tools in your kitchen!

Here are some surprising uses, along with suggested recipes to try. Download the pdf file of this great article HERE.

Infused Alcohols and Syrups

WHY SOUS VIDE?

Sous vide intensifies the natural flavors and the gentle heat speeds up the process. Creating your own flavor-infused liquors or syrups for retro cocktails has never been easier or faster. Make your own Limoncello in hours rather than weeks or months! No need to buy flavored syrups or fruity drinks. Simply create your own flavor combinations and mix into ice tea, lemonade or club soda for non-alcoholic beverages with a bright fresh gourmet twist!

CONDIMENTS, SAUCES, FRUITS COULIS, COMPOTES

WHY SOUS VIDE?

Sous vide intensifies natural flavors and allows you to use your imagination to develop your own condiments. No worries about MSG, or other preservatives found in commercially prepared store bought products. You control what you put into your sauces and it is hands-free effortless. Mustard, Salsa, Chutney and more - the possibilities are endless! Make Hollandaise without risk of curdling or separating. Turn fresh fruits into delicious fruits coulis and compotes that are vibrant in color.

STOCK FOR SOUPS AND SAUCES

WHY SOUS VIDE?

Make your own beef, chicken, vegetable, or seafood stock right in the water bath. No pouch required. You will need to use a non-stirred, self-contained water oven, not an immersion circulator for this purpose.

An unstirred sous vide bath is a perfect bain marie for cooking those oven recipes requiring a water cushion and constant low temperatures. Eliminates the challenge (and danger) of sloshing hot water onto the floor when filling or removing a pan from a traditional oven.

THE PERFECT EGG

WHY SOUS VIDE?

Eggs come in nature’s own “cooking pouch” – the egg shell itself! Simply place the whole eggs in the water bath to cook and you will be treated to perfectly soft poached eggs, exactly the way you like them! Cook 1 or many eggs at once and keep them perfectly soft-cooked until serving. Easy for making hard-cooked eggs, too.

CUSTARDS, LEMON CURD, DULCE DE LECHE, ZABAGLIONE, AND ICE CREAM BASE

WHY SOUS VIDE?

It can be better than a double boiler. No constant stirring and attention or worries about curdling or burning on a stovetop. You will never cook custard any other way, once you try cooking it sous vide

Suggested recipes: Dulce de Leche (caramel sauce) is as easy as pouring sweetened condensed milk into a zip cooking pouch and cooking it unattended all day or even overnight while you sleep for an easy sweet treat ready whenever you are. Also try Chocolate Zabaglione, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

WHY SOUS VIDE?

Love a bowl of hot oatmeal for breakfast, but no time to cook it on the stove in the morning? Simply drop it in the night beforehand and it will cook overnight and be ready to eat in the morning. Easier than stovetop and no clean up!

INFUSED VINEGARS AND OILS

WHY SOUS VIDE?

The gentle precise cooking temperatures speed up the flavor transfer of fresh herbs and berries to make gourmet vinegar without permeating the kitchen with strong vinegar odors. Use your favorite dried spices and seasonings to create flavorful oils for cooking or salads.
